^Ijeir sweet smilina faces in many a dream, 

0ncJ felt tl^e soft brusb of a tiny wm^ 

0s tbou9b twere a ligbt breeze murmupina? 

^bme eyes were closed, so tbou couldst not see ; 

But beavenly messenaers watcbed witb tbee. 



s-X AST tl^ou ne er beard, or seemed to bear 
J \» 

whisper of love in tby wal^enm^ ear; 
0r felt soft band on tbme eyelids rest 

Wben tbou anew aweary and longed for rest V 
^bou went all too drowsy to l^now or bear, 

But beavenly messengers lin^9ered near. 



-j'^ AST tl}ou never known, wQen all was still, 

Mow a sweet sona seemed to roam at wil 
^ill tl^y l^eart for very loy sang too, 

^bo wl;at tl^e strain toou never bnewV 
^t}ou tbougl;it a singing wind went by 

Dut l^eavenly messenaers were nigb- 



-U^EAVENLY FHessen^ers, spirits of love,
